A thunderous clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors shook the Chase Center. Both sides put on an action-packed evening of basketball. At the end of it all, Anthony Davis, the generational forward wrote the tale of a Lakers win on the road. However, the Warriors had their chance to get back in the proceedings. Jordan Poole had a shot to tie the game with 10 seconds remaining. But his shot selection irked many, including Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley.

The Inside the NBA crew was deeply disturbed by the 23-year-old’s wild attempt and they made sure he heard about it.

Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley rip into Poole

The Warriors staged a ferocious comeback. A 14-0 run got them within a shot’s distance to tie the game. The Lakers double-teaming Stephen Curry meant someone else had to take the three. Who better than Poole who had gone 6 for 10 before his last attempt? Draymond Green found him with ample space.

Shockingly, Poole didn’t utilize the time. Instead, he pulled from nearly three-quarters of the half. The shot wasn’t close, and the reigning champions lost their Chase Center prowess.
